As well as now banning all devices capable of warning drivers of speed camera locations, the French government is installing around 400 new fixed speed cameras and is taking down road signs indicating the location of existing fixed speed camera sites.

Well thats a bit stupid, considering pretty much every device on the market has this feature already. What are they going to do, confiscate every satnav in France that has this feature, and force the satnav manufacturers to release a different version for the French market?
Can't see them enforcing that for quite a while imo. Luckily we only drive a short distance through France!
